To end Day 2 of the MLB Draft, the White Sox drafted their eighth pitcher of the day. They selected Indiana University lefty Tommy Sommer in the 10th round.
The 6-foot-4 junior was Indiana’s Friday night starter, finishing with a 4.60 ERA, 1.483 WHIP and 69 strikeouts in 62 2/3 innings. He struck out 10 batters over eight shutout innings in his first start of the season against Minnesota to earn Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors, but also had a couple of rough outings during the year. Sommer only lasted 2 1/3 innings in each of his final two starts, as walks plagued him.
